The Skinny:
Age restrictions: 19+
Where to buy: Government-operated storefronts and online sales. Cannabis will be distributed by Nova Scotia Liquor Corp (NLSC) and sold in NSLC stores, including existing NSLC liquor outlets. Nine cannabis stores currently confirmed in: Amherst, Dartmouth, Halifax, Lower Sackville, New Glasgow, Sydney River, Truro and Yarmouth.
Home grow: Up to four plants
Where to consume: Can be consumed in public, but only where tobacco may be smoked. The Smoke-Free Places Act will also mean you won’t be able to smoke within 20 meters of an outdoor sports center or playground, within 9 meters of hiking trails or on a beach or in a park, except if its a private campsite. Additionally, Nova Scotia is considering legislation that would allow landlords to ban marijuana. If enacted, this law would give landlords the right to evict for marijuana use.
